(But that's just a guess, maybe somebody over in the gaming thread knows more about it.)


I think I'm going to stay out of the gaming thread. :D
*too much for keps* :hehe:
I feel like I know more about the text and game anyway, thanks to your response, so no worries. :victory:

what's the meaning of this sentence?

"Yume no tsuduki ga mitai...IKirameki no naka ni tojikome naide ...Kowarete shimau wa"

"Yume no tsuduki ga mitai...IKirameki no naka ni tojikome naide ...Kowarete shimau wa"

Version 1: "I wanna keep dreamin', dude... This spotlight sucks... Gonna nuke it..."

Version 2 (literal): "I want to see the dream continue... I won't be confined in the glitter... I'll break it apart..."

Version 3: "I wish to float endlessly in this semi-comatose state called reverie... Glamour and pageantry are not entirely dissimilar to mental incarceration, and I shall not allow myself to remain its captive. Indeed, I shall seek to make its annihilation irrevocable..."

It's hard for me to literally translate to English, however I'll give it a shot.

Hayasugiruyo - It was too/so fast

Sakki kaettandeshou, soushite mata ikutsumorika - You just came back, and then you want (intend) to leave again?

Fuzakeruna Watashi wo tsuretetteyo~ - *insulting phrase* (ie: "get real", "F@%$ you, @$$hole, etc), take me with you/let me go with you.

"can i see a menu please?, we are ready to order now.

also would i say, kore wa kudasai (this please, when referencing to a particular item on a menu to the waitress??), or hoshi desu ga kudasai(when referring to a few particular items when ordering??

thanks.

If you want to order something to keep it simple...I might say.

"Kore ni shimasu" <I'll take this>

"XXX ni shimasu <I'll take/have XXX>

Hey, sorry for the belated reply. (new job schedule is nuts)

anyways, "chanto shite" would be literally translated as "do it correctly/exactly".

Chanto = Correctly/Exactly/Precise
Shite = Do (It)/Do (subject)

Hope that helps.

If you want to say it properly then it goes like this.
"Arigatou gozaimasu. Yoi ichinichi wo."

But usually, We don't use the phrase 'have a nice day' that much.
So instead, you can use "soredewa" or "jaa mata".
It means "see you (next time)".
